Wadena-Deer Creek hurler Kevin Tumberg delivers a pitch in his 13-strikeout performance April 8 against Otter Tail Central. Tumberg also came up with a two-out, game-winning hit in the bottom of the seventh frame as WDC edged OTC 2-1.

The Breckenridge Cowboys capitalized on four Wadena-Deer Creek errors Tuesday to hand Kyle Dykhoff's Wadena-Deer Creek Wolverines a 3-2 loss on the local diamond.

Casey Materi, who had two of Breck's eight hits, drove in Zack Hegge with the game-winning run in the sixth inning.

Walker Busse and Preston Kappes out-dueled Derrick Rude and Kevin Tumberg in the windy conditions. Busse worked the first four frames and struck out four while surrendering three hits and two walks. Kappes walked two and fanned five in his relief role. The WDC hurlers did not allow an earned run. Rude gave up only one base on balls while striking out seven. Tumberg fanned five and walked two.

Cody Redfield collected an opposite-field homer for the Wolverines. David Najjar doubled and scored a run.

"Rude and Tumberg threw well and it was also nice to see Cody's bat get going," WDC head coach Kyle Dykhoff said.
